I wonder if it works or is it just for decoration.

    The village pump used to be a feature of every village near here. Many have been preserved but I don't know of any that still works.

    I haven't seen one of these hand pumps in a long time. They can give your arm a good workout.

    I hope this pump still works. In case of an emergency without water supply, this helps people to continue daily life.

    Neat looking pump.
    We have a red one but it is just decoration.
    Haven't found a place to put it yet at Happy Trails but we will.

    I pumped a lot of water with those pumps. I'll never for get the squeak squeak of the pump.

    I have some vague memories of someone in my family using one like that when I was a kid.

    I have used one of these many times in my youth, but have not seen a working one in many years.

    Looks pretty functional, I hope you went up and pumped a bit. Sometimes they do need a priming.

    Maybe it does work to water the lawn it is in. Looks lovely!
